About This Quote

There is a side to all writers that loves nothing better than a book, a big chair, a window. Writer's block is a problem that most writers have to deal with, but most of us have a way of dealing with it. We get so caught up in our work that we forget about the world outside of our writing, and we become very comfortable in a chair with a book in our hands. This quote reminds us how important it is to get out from behind our screen and really live life.
